You could always go with AVG free edition. It works the same as the pay edition (minus a few bells and whistles) and catches all the stuff the others catch.
The only reason you might not go here is if you're running a business with that machine. Then you require a business license. Fair enough.
This is what I push people towards when they have that crap 60 or 90 day version of nagware Norton or Mac-a-Fee. I get them hooked up with Firefox + plugins, Ad Aware, AVG antivirus free and other free/open apps. If people come a begging for software, I offer free versions of them. OO, Gimp, VirtualDub, and such work as free substitutes.
Nope. Im serious, and agree with heavily tariffing their goods until they can show that their products are of safe quality. However, you can thank USians for wanting their cheap Chinese goods from places like Mal-Wart or other junk dealers.
Of course, shit will hit the fan when the Chinese stops floating our currency to keep theirs down. You know, for every action comes an equal and opposite action. The markets are not immune to this.
Greg Egan did a book on this very topic, except it was a dual neutron star that collided with each other.
Egan, near the end of the book, explained that energy was being transfered into extra-dimensional energy, and not sealing behind an event horizon as it normally should.
In the book, the binary was a hundred light-years away. It caused mass extinction of the flesher human race, however the digitized humans were safe.
For a long time, it appeared to be anonymous. However, do you think you were anon to groups like Doubleclick, or Yahoo, or any other aggregate "news" or ad portal?
There were ways to be anon:
1: Use a Socks proxy 2: Use a "web only" proxy (mal-configured Squid is your friend) 3: Use a mail-WWW translator machine (with appropriate obfuscations in the mail client)
Now, we can use the net anon via TOR, or nyud.net for not hitting their machine, or a multitude of new options.
---I don't think they'll let me RMA it post-blend.
It'd still be a heck of a lot of laughs to see if they would accept it back.
---I can't tell if it's a head crash or a spindle motor failure. I DO have two identical drives and have the data off the good one, so I suppose I could get dicey and try to swap platters and maybe get real lucky if it's the motor, but I don't know how well that would work out. I'm remodeling my clean room y'know.
Well.. I'd just pay a corp to come back and harvest the data. Spindle mounting and generally hd repair is rather nasty, and can easily kill drives. And worse comes to worst, they can use a electron microscope if its that critical.
---Which Wal-Mart store do you shop at? In the Wal-Mart stores in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the price sticker on an edited music CD says "EDITED".
Ditto, but I'm in Columbus, IN. Both Mal-Warts have the EDITED stickers...
Though I havent bought any new CD's in about 5 years. Thank goodness for Half-Price Books (medium small cheap book/cd/dvd store) in Indy and Greenwood. They even have LP's at the Greenwood store (on 31 south of county line).
---AFT (About Fyucking Time) Defense/Offense Corporatist attack a real enemy of US. They (Corporations/associations/laws... RIAA, MPAA, DMCA...) have been using the law to spy on and attack citizens......
Wow. That is one hell of a rant. Too bad it's just full of sticking points towards every group you hate. That adds nothing.
---If you want to win you must always be on the offense. Offense or Defense will always win a battle, but only offense can win the war.
Your key supposition is this.
What is winning to Time-Warner? They wish to make money.
Can attacking lead to elimination of threat? Yes, it can.
Can attacking lead to more money lost due to unforeseen complications? Yes, it can.
What is the percentage that is lost? It is a great percentage. Why? Because IP addresses are not checked to verify whether source/destination are correct.
If the majority of companies went to 1'st strike like what you wish, then I, as one person could imitate that of a rival company and engage each other in a cyberwar. If you dont understand this, I am simply blending in the prisoners dilemma and tragedy of the commons.
I predicted here that companies would soon rely on the Supreme Court's decision in Leegin Creative Leather Products v. PSKS to justify interfering with competition from less expensive products sold online. It did not take long for that prediction to come true. Although interference with eBay sales is nothing new (see here and here), companies in two recently filed federal cases explicitly invoke Leegin as a justification for terminating the eBay auctions of competitors that charge lower prices online. These cases not only show Leegin's likely effect on Internet sales, but are also, unfortunately, fairly typical examples of the sort of anticompetitive actions companies take to fight lower-priced competition online.
In the first case, Merle Norman Cosmetics v. LaBarbera, No. 07-60811 (S.D. Fla.), Merle Norman Cosmetics filed suit against eBay seller Joyce LaBarbera for selling its makeup on eBay at a discount. The company had previously terminated a variety of eBay auctions by claiming that the sale of its makeup violated an unspecified FDA regulation. In this case, however, the company concedes that the eBay seller could rightfully resell the makeup on eBay if, as she claims, she purchased the makeup at a flea market. Merle Norman, however, suspects that the eBay seller is in fact buying the makeup from a salon that, pursuant to its contract with Merle Norman, has agreed not to sell anything on the Internet. Merle Norman says it demands these contracts so that purchasers can only buy the makeup at Merle Norman stores, with the guidance of "beauty consultants" who are "specially trained in proper hygienic practices." Of course, the contracts also help ensure that the products won't be available outside the stores at reduced prices.
Although Merle Norman does not claim that the eBay seller ever contracted with the company, it contends that the seller's act of purchasing the makeup from a salon that had entered such an agreement and then selling "at discount prices" on the Internet constituted unfair competition, interference with its contracts, and civil conspiracy (see complaint). In other words, the eBay seller, according to the company, is guilty of breaching somebody else's contracts and unfairly competing by selling to consumers on the Internet at prices that are too low. In its brief in the district court, Merle Norman relies on Leegin, which had been decided just a few days earlier, in support of its right to "require dealers to charge certain resale prices to promote interbrand competition." The company claims that "the law is well settled that manufacturers like [Merle Norman] have the right to control the manner of distribution of their products." Although the district court denied the pro se defendant's motion for a preliminary injunction, the case is now on track for trial.
The second case is Colon v. Innovate! Technology, Inc., No. 07-21349 (S.D. Fla.). Innovate! Technology ("ITI") is a company that makes high-performance car parts. According to its brief in the district court (warning, large file), the company "sells its products only via authorized distributors and retailers" that "comply with ITI's policy of Minimum Advertised Pricing." The company views sales by unauthorized sellers (i.e., those who sell too cheaply) to be not only a violation of its minimum-price policy, but, surprisingly, as an infringement of its intellectual property rights. ITI's eBay "About Me" page explains that the sale of its products by anyone but an authorized dealer constitutes patent and trademark infringement. Moreover, the company claims the right to prohibit all use of its copyrighted "technical data, photos, graphics, software, product literature, catalogues, product specifications, installation guides, user guides, promotional material and other types of information" without its permission. In other words, the company claims it is copyright infringement to read its user guides and manuals, browse its catalogs, or look at its pictures without its "express written permission." Presumably, the company f

Then you'll have an extensibleFS.
You're right that n is too small.
They should have went to the Wal-Mart for more test subjects.
Did you see me say "haha or :-)".

Hmm.. I wonder what your n was..
Dvorak important and relevant? I think not.
Is there a way to put a -1 against a certain "Story writer"? I dont care if Bonk.. er Zonk or whoever puts it here...
zzz = Dvorak
The last Ive checked, Windows could NOT boot from a USB memory device (well, the kernel just couldnt handle it, bootmanager didnt care)
Asus says its Windows Compat, so no go. It will have to get the IDE treatment.. However, IDE-CF cards do work well.
Guess what: It never was.

They sponsor a "Will it blend"... see how a HD blends
No, you most likely have to watch PBS for the 1.5 hr documentary and 2 hours of "fund drive" beggs.
Oh, and showing at 11PM. Yuck.
---Look around you, not just at your peer group, but at your community at large.
Repeat after me... Plural of anecdote is NOT data.
Well, for starters, Bittorrent clients now support p2p encryption to prevent sniffing. However, one could do whitelists to trade only with friends.
Next, any linux computer is freely capable of making a VPN for friends. Good luck getting in that w/o a subpoena.
Lastly, for wide network consumption, there is WASTE. Nullnets are good. Privnets are even better.
